Just curious but why would you put something in your lungs and mouth that will melt plastic? Not trying to be a smart ***.
I'm quite certain that you have drank a Coke by this time in your life. Well, what better solvent is there to dissolve the crud that accumulates on your car's battery terminals? It eats that crud on your battery right up, but it won't do the same to your stomach.
Clearomizers and the clear plastic tubes in the cheaper cartotanks are made of a plastic called polycarbonate. It so happens that when in the presence of certain ingredients found in some flavors of e-liquids that it undergoes a chemical change. There has been no evidence presented that those ingredients are harmful to vape.

That is surprising, that is one of my fave juices and I've never had an issue with it.
Not all cinnamon or citrus flavors have the offending ingredients in them. Just be aware of what juices might be "clearokillers or tank killer", and if interested in trying one, check the list and see if that flavor is listed.
There are other safer options of delivery devices to vape those juices. Cartomizers are safe to use. So are tank devices that use pyrex glass or polypropylene plastic (frosted appearance) or stainless steel.
